On Wednesday I was delighted to be asked, along with the
Chair of Governors John De Braux, to sit on the judging panel of Year 9s Youth
and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI). Each
form was provided with an opportunity to champion a local charity which they
believe in their opinion deserves £3000 funding. Each presented in the hall in front of their
peers and the panel. Many local
charities were championed and it was very difficult to make a decision. The outcome was that DRUM - Disability Recreation Unity Movement – were awarded
the £3000. This charity was presented by
a member of 90 – well done to them.

Rickmansworth School is the only school in the local area to work with
YPI and I am extremely proud of the work our students have undertaken and
facilitating the YPI programme and the award to a local charity.
